This is a great list. I love non-fiction so will be able to use it as a guide. I don't know how to add a book but would like to reccomend Zarafa: A Giraffe's True Story, from Deep in Africa to the Heart of Paris by Michael Allin.

Great list! Some non-fiction is just so utterly boring . . thank you for creating such a wonderful list.
You add books at the top of the list, at the tab next to "all votes."However, if you are the author I believe that is no longer possible; too many authors were abusing the privilege.
I read a ton of non fiction, I have added my limit of 100 books.
@StaceySaid it before and I'll say it again: As you share the same first name with the author, I can't escape the notion that you might be one and the same person?
